Since childhood, I have been inclined to express myself through drawing or painting in any medium available: crayons, pencils, beach sand by the ocean, markers, oil paint. Recently, inspired by a workshop with Lisa Daria in 2016, I have been painting 6”x 6” floral acrylics on art board in my home studio. I named this project “Bright Spots”, reflecting my wish to create more light and beauty in this complex, difficult world.
Now retired from teaching mathematics, my painting practice has become a daily ritual, and I created Bright Spots Studio. I continue my daily painting practice, as well as create more work in pastel, acrylic, mixed media, and watercolor.
My pieces are always based on the natural world; light and shadow, organic shapes, from landscape space to small wonders in my hand. I wish to convey something of the beauty and mysterious story of the world we inhabit in each image I create.
